All the while the flames flicker near the bride, who remains remarkably calm despite being in a less than an ideal situation.

It was left to burn in a bid to create an artistic effect.

The ‘behind the scenes’ footage was posted to YouTube on May 17, by People’s Daily, China.

As the fire rapidly climbs up the dress, someone rushes into the video carrying a fire extinguisher.

They then swiftly put out the fire, merely a moment before it reached the actual bride.

It’s not yet known if the bride was injured during the risky shoot, however during the vision she appears to remain unharmed.

The “Joan of Arc, trash the dress trend” was the brainchild of photographer, John Michael Cooper.

So far the vision has had more the 12,000 views.
